Lanterne's torch runs the LEDs at the only power level that has been explicitly labeled as safe for continuous use, so I'm just going to stick with that...
No, no, I just mean *lower* levels at start, then, gradually, increasing output to a max of same wattage that LEDs have in torch mode. Not over-driving them, of course

Sure, it would require using the second mode, but as long as you keep with not exceeding power equivalent to the "safe" torch mode, you're doing the same thing, with just low power level at start.
